Note

Make sure that the USB driver is installed before connecting to a USB port.

The flash lamp (red) on the camera blinks while data is being transmitted. Do not disconnect the cable or turn the camera off while data is being transmitted between the camera and the PC as the camera or PC may be adversely affected.
